New Muppet Abby Cadabby heads to the Street

Question: if they made such a big deal about Abby Cadabby being a new part of Sesame Street, then we haven't seen her since her debut? If she's supposed to be a new character that they have high hopes for, then shouldn't she be on alot like Elmo, Zoe, Baby Bear, and Telly?

Snowth... Abby was in the premiere episode 4109, and in the next one 4110, where she had her first day at Storybook Community School.
As for her big hype/little airtime so far... Blame it on da' hype machine.
Remember last year's big hysteric reaction to all the media outlets touting Cookie Monster's behavorial reform?
Well... *Gilligan music. Little buddy, you've done it again!

Give it time, I'm actually fine with how they've used Abby so far. Besides, there's still a lot of Season 37 left, only a fifth of it's over.

She's in three episodes this season. SO I think the going to do this like curly bear where the make a big noise about her that season, but she only ended up on three episodes at the end, which were about her birth,

So I think ther going to rerun her a lot so kids will get a chance to see her.

I read somewhere she would have a supporting role in another episode. I think it makes no sense for all this publicity and so few appearances. Having Irvine back would be wonderful. I love any Marty Robinson character, especially a grouchy baby.

Then I guess you guys were thrilled to get Marty voicing the Bus Driver in 4116?

Snowth... Episodes 4109 (Debut) and 4110 (First Day at Storybook Community School) are the only two episodes where Abby appeared prominently that I know of. It's possible that she may appear in more episodes, as it's possible she may not appear in any other episodes. At this point, all we can do is keep watching and spot her should she appear once again.
Hope this helps.

I'm a new member, and have read all your postings - I am in Australia, so I haven't seen the episodes with Abby in them yet (I think we're up to episode 4084 or something like that). I am doing a research project at university on the history of female muppet characters in Sesame Street, instigated by the introduction of Abby. I'm interested in the different ways they've constructed femininity over the years eg. looking at the introduction of Zoe 13 years ago, they didn't want her to come across as a cutesy cutesy girly girl, whereas that's exactly what they want in Abby.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I could get my hands on a copy of the episodes with Abby in them? I have seen the press clips that are available on the Sesame Workshop website, and that's it. Is there any way of watching it on the net?
